The author Murray has decided not to continue with this megapack.

 

Unless someone else wants to take over it's going to be archived but of course not delete completely.

 

If there was enough interest in these I could look at taking this on and sharing content here and on my own site FMG.

 

Having worked on FM View with the guys it would be a shame to see these gone completely.

Sorry, can´t edit my post. I´ve found the “mistake”. I created a new folder named teams in the nation folder. Thank i copied all logos and change in the xml the “nation” to “team”. Now the logos are showing at the nation panel:

 

 

Hi Mate

 

I'm a bit confused as to where the initial problem was as I've checked the updates and tested in-game and everything was working fine.

 

The config files for the megapack and all updates look fine too.

It's the wrong forum mate but that's ok. If it's just the logos not appearing I'd suggest checking the pack config file.

 

If you have done something wrong updating etc it could have caused problems. The logos will work regardless of them being 512px or not.

Hi,

 

I am trying to download the megapack (premium member) and the download keeps stopping after a few seconds.  Can you please look into this?

 

Thanks

 

EDIT: Finally managed to get it downloaded but I had to manually restart the download countless times over a number of hours, definitely an issue.

 

Hey mate

 

I've just downloaded the megapack in just over 7 minutes. Obviously something was previously causing some issues but all seems fine now.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

hey,

 

 the logo from Ancona-Matelica (ID 2000110486) is the same from Matelica Calcio (ID 43106515). Matelica Calcio doesn't exist anymore.

07.07.2021 - SS Matelica Calcio purchases the Ancona brand, relocates to Ancona and is rebranded as Ancona-Matelica

 

Thanks mate. Could you please post a picture of the correct logo and i.d. number and I will place in the next update pack?

YES that's magnificent. Is there also a skin in works?

So Steel 22 it is for me. 

 

Not at the moment mate but in the future we will look at it.

 

I will have the new version of Steel Backgrounds ready next weekend which will appear better in game and will be optimised to reduce the overall pack size.

The updates are a combination of missing and updated logos from what is in the original megapack.

 

Updated logos can be improved quality but mainly is updated when a team or competition introduces a new logo.

 

All update packs should be downloaded and installed in order from 1-6. Be sure to replace the content only and not the actual folders.

 

To avoid problems also ensure the @2 folders contents are copy and pasted to the corresponding folders.

Sorry guys but the update won't be released until Thursday as I haven't had time to complete it due to a lot of work on the new FMG site and forums.

 

Any logos posted here until Tuesday night will be included in the update.

This just doesnt work. You cant instal any logos. Waste of time. 

 

It works fine. 
 

Download the megapack, the updates and make sure all content is copied from the folders including config files. This includes all the content from the @2 folders.

@Derek I agree with everything you written 👍 . The idea of a common logo source sound great. I Don't think anyone is stealing anything, and I don't see how you can read that in to my comment 🤷‍♂️. But I've made my point and really don't want to get drawn in to any long discussions, because in my experience it does not get you anywhere.

 

Agreed 👍

Exactly i'm trying to help. The research for italian logos from 1 to 7th tiers is all mine and i think all logopack MUST HAVE the same ammount of logos to be must complete as possible and don't care where and it doesn't matter where the photos come from because anyone can find them on the internet in the official sites of the teams or specialized sites, so anyone is free to post the same photos wherever they want if they think they are useful to complete a pack that he uses rather than another. If i want use Steel Logos pack instead of Metallic Logos and i I want this package to reach or exceed the number of logos present in the Metallic Logos, because I cannot do it and I cannot provide the same logos, which I repeat everyone can find? You can find them, i can find them, everyone can find them.
In my opinion it is ridiculous that a pack of logos has far fewer logos than another and it is right to use any way you see fit to provide logos to complete a pack, even "stealing" them which is what you accuse me of and which in reality is not as the images of the logos can be found anywhere on the internet and you cannot know where I am getting them. Maybe we all get them from the same sites who knows

 

I'm sure that @Qvordrup is not claiming you have stolen anything mate. I can't speak for anyone but the issue I can see is not giving people credit for the contributions they make in creating content or researching for others to create. As I've said in the past on numerous occasions, I'm very thankful to you and all the other researchers that have helped me create content over the years. I always give credit to those who contribute even one logo to any pack and will continue to do so in this project and others.

 

I would suggest simply declaring who created the particular content so credit can be given to all.

@Qvordrup 

 

Firstly, thank you for the kind words on Steel Logos.

 

I wasn’t aware that this was the case as I very rarely venture outside of my own topics. I can understand where your coming from on this and ultimately it’s a decision for you guys as staff have to make as I’m simply a contributor to this site.

 

Although I can’t speak for others, perhaps we can agree there was no malice meant in what  AndreaSSLazio1900 was doing in ‘researching’ the logos as he was ultimately trying to help.

 

Can I suggest a possible alternative which could benefit all members and creators?

 

I have in the past set up projects such as source logos on FM View which assisted creators in accessing large quantities of standard logos in the best quality available to encourage new styles and larger packs. This is something which I’m currently in the process of doing for my own site Football Manager Graphics and would be happy to share the work here.

 

I’ve been working on that project now for the past 3 months and has allowed me to improve Steel Logos and also develop three new logo megapack styles which I’ve yet to release.

 

To summarise I can open a new thread ‘Source Logos’ and upload my standard source logos for creators to download. Any member can then post missing or updated logos.

Perdón, solo quería saber si me podrian hacer un logo de acero de un escudo que yo les mande? 

Sois unos campeones de narices haciendo estas cosas, enhorabuena.

 

Sorry, I just wanted to know if you could make me a steel logo of a shield that I send you? You guys are champions of noses doing these things, congratulations.

 

Yes sure. Please post it here in the best quality you have.
